R&D team to assist in next-generation FPGA family development
7 February 2007
Programmable Logic
The Xilinx advanced platforms group has established a research and development (R&D) team in its Asia Pacific headquarters to assist in the development of the company's next-generation 45 nm platform FPGA family. Working closely with the product divisions and R&D centres in the USA, the team will be one of the first in Singapore to design at the leading-edge 45 nm process technology node and will help Xilinx become one of the first companies in the world to deliver a 45 nm chip.
They will contribute to design innovation in product development methodology and block architecture to increase performance and reduce power consumption for the company's next-generation platform FPGA family. Platform FPGAs integrate high-performance logic, serial connectivity, DSP and embedded processing onto a single programmable device.
By providing higher system-level integration, lower total system costs, faster time to market and upgradeable features, platform FPGAs are being used by system designers to replace application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and application specific standard products (ASSPs) in a wide-range of high-performance applications, such as wired/wireless communications, networking, audio/video/broadcast and storage/server.
Xilinx hopes this next-generation platform FPGA family will enable the company to further expand into the $22,4 bn high-performance segment of the global ASIC/ASSP/FPGA market.
